31 vinyl pressings of On The Road Again / Boogie Music are listed here, from 16 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, Australia, Belgium, Brazil and more. One of them is Liberty 56038.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 56038, LYK-2471, BLG 5015, FC-55041) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LB2566RE1 615C X and LB2567. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
